Anna Tilman, who has researched several toxic issues, including mercury, is a board member of the International Institute of Concern for Public Health. She has written a four-part series for the Watershed Sentinel entitled "On the Yellowcake Trail", which tracks the history of all aspects of uranium mining in Canada, from the mining and milling to processing and use throughout its eighty-year history.
